LYRICS
Leaves start falling when the cold wind blows
And soon get covered by the winter snow
The birds start singing when the spring rolls ‘round
Flowers blooming through the thawing ground
When you love somebody and the love grows cold
The sun starts shining when you let it all go
There’s a certain kinda hurting only time can heal
That’s a pretty good picture of the way I feel
I’m a little bit hurt
But a lot more free
I ain’t sayin that you never took a toll on me
For what it’s worth
I can finally see
That I’m a little bit hurt but a lot more free
Yeah I’m a little bit hurt but a lot more free
From this mountain I can see so far
Rivers running like deep deep scars
Carrying the lifeblood through my veins
Is it crazy that I’m grateful for all the pain
I’m a little bit hurt
But a lot more free
I ain’t sayin that you never took a toll on me
For what it’s worth
I can finally see
That I’m a little bit hurt but a lot more free
Yeah I’m a little bit hurt but a lot more free

The song “A Lot More Free” by Max McNown explores the emotional journey of moving on from a past relationship and finding personal growth and freedom in the process.
In the first verse, the changing seasons serve as metaphors for the different stages of healing. The falling leaves and cold wind represent the end of a relationship, while the winter snow symbolizes the cover-up or burying of emotions. However, with the arrival of spring, depicted by the singing birds and blooming flowers, there is a sense of moving forward and renewal.
The second verse delves into the pain and acceptance that comes with letting go of someone you once loved. The mention of the sun shining signifies the ability to find happiness and peace once the attachment to the past is released. The lyrics convey the idea that the healing process takes time, but the passing of time can eventually lead to healing and growth.
The chorus reinforces the central theme of the song, expressing a mixture of hurt and newfound freedom. Despite the emotional pain experienced, the protagonist acknowledges that they now have a greater sense of independence and self-discovery. They have learned from the relationship, acknowledging that it had an impact on them, but now they see it as an opportunity for personal growth and liberation.
In the third verse, the protagonist reflects on their perspective from a metaphorical mountain. They have gained a broader view of life and can see things more clearly. The description of rivers running like deep scars implies that the journey of healing has left its marks, but it has also carried life and experience. Surprisingly, the protagonist expresses gratitude for the pain they have endured, as it has played a significant role in their personal development.
Overall, “A Lot More Free” portrays the bittersweet reality of heartbreak and the transformative power it can have. The song emphasizes the importance of letting go, embracing the pain, and ultimately finding freedom and growth in the aftermath.
Wow.
That’s probably the best break down of a song I’ve read in my entire life.
Wow. Nailed it.
❤❤❤
I’m a little bit hurt but a lot more free
I ain’t sayin that you never took a toll on me
For what it’s worth, I can finally see
That I’m a little bit hurt but a lot more free
Yeah, I’m a little bit hurt but a lot more free
From this mountain, I can see so far
Rivers running like deep, deep scars
Carrying the lifeblood through my veins
Is it crazy that I’m grateful for all the pain?
‘Cause I’m a little bit hurt but a lot more free
I ain’t sayin that you never took a toll on me
And for what it’s worth, I can finally see
That I’m a little bit hurt but a lot more free
Yeah, I’m a little bit hurt but a lot more free
